Report: All the latest surrounding the Patrick Kane rape accusations.

First and foremost it's important to keep in mind that we don't know who the victim in this story really is, or who is telling the truth at this point, so we ask that you withhold criticism on either side to avoid victim blaming.

Patrick Kane has been accused of rape in one of the more disturbing stories to hit the hockey world in recent years, here are the facts that have been reported thus far.

As of this writing Patrick Kane has NOT been charged with a crime at this time.

We now know from a source that spoke to The Associated Press that the woman making these accusations is a young lady in her 20's.

The young lady in question immediately contacted a relative after the incident and immediately went to the hospital to undergo a rape kit after the alleged attack.

Dominic Saraceno, a prominent Buffalo defense attorney, has stated the results of the forensic analysis could take as long as 1-2 months.

According to the Buffalo News the woman was described as having bite marks on her shoulders as well as a scratch on her leg after the alleged attack.

The attorney hired by Patrick Kane to deal with this situation, Paul J. Cambria, has stated that many of the details just mentioned are inaccurate, however he would not go into specifics.

"There have been all sorts of statements made that are completely inaccurate," Cambria told USA TODAY Sports. "These things are being said as if they are facts. I am not going to participate in that stuff. When the time comes, I will respond to things, but I am not going to participate at this time in this whole media thing that is going on."

Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz did comment on the situation and while he kept it brief he did seem optimistic that Kane would come out of this situation, how much can be read into that however is unclear.

"We're disappointed but hopeful," Wirtz said. "Beyond that, it would not be appropriate to expound upon."

We will continue to monitor the story as more details come forward, once again we ask that you withhold judgement until more information becomes available.
